Martin gave him a couple runs to start the game. Lets see if he can get that elusive 1st win. Houston has been hot though.

Getting support...4 run lead...Gunna be his to lose. Kent mentors the 2 star white youngins(Billingsley and Kershaw.) Honeycutt went to the mound with Kent and Martin. Kent gave the kid about a 30 second lecture.

That goes to the top of the list(a very short list) of clutch hits he has as a Dodger. He seemed particularly interested in the game (due to family n' friends in the crowd.) It shouldn't have been a close game, but Torre made retarded pitching changes that blew up in his face each time. The kid was still pitching fine. He had 2 on with 1 out. They have a meeting on the mound. Kent does all the talking. Yes, it was bizarre. Just like a cop chastizing a jaywalker that made a car have to slow a touch bit. Then the kid gets a slow roller back to him, and takes the conservative route to 1st base(now 2 outs.) So 6th inning, and 2 outs. Astros on 2nd and 3rd base. Score is 6-1 Dodgers. Here comes Torre to the mound...Shuffle,Shuffle...Shuffle,Shuffle...Finall-eeeeeee he gets there. Out goes Kershaw. In comes some scab. Out goes the ball into the right field seats. Later he puts in BROXTON(IN PLACE OF THE MUCH GAMER HARD-THROWING KUO.) There goes the lead. Miracle that the Dodgers won it. They usually lay down like a hurry-up ho (in this situation.) Kid still doesn't have a win.

When I first read the post I just figured it was Joe doing a Torresque move to let Kershaw get the standing O from the crowd on the way to his first major leauge win (because he wasn't going out there for the 7th anyway). Saw him do it all the time in NY. Then I realized that they played in Houston last night. Now I just figure that they are just being extra cautious him. Reguardless if he took him out early or not, major leauge bullbens shouldn't be blowing 5 run leads!
